The need for linemen is always there in the eyes of college coaches when it comes to a recruiting class. Then there are other years where the needs are specific to other positions and for Tennessee this year, one of their "biggest" needs is the wide receiver position. And one of the most recent offers that Tennessee has extended is to Birmingham, Alabama athlete Marquis Maze.

But the Vols are not alone in courting the Magic City standout.

"I have offers from Tennessee, Auburn, Michigan, Southern Mississippi, Memphis, and UAB," Maze said. "Right now, I am just weighing all of my options and I am open to anyone."

The 5-foot-8, 160 pound Maze has gotten a jump start on things with an unofficial visit to Michigan.

"I went up there for one of their junior days," Maze said. "I think the thing that stood out to me about Michigan was just how cool the players were. They treated you really nice."
